Chapter 132: Indecisive
"We are planning to have a party at home tonight, and you can come back and join us."
Xu Rou's tone was cold, as if she thought Chi Muzhen owed a lot of money and hadn't paid it back.
Chi Muzhen's eyes flashed with surprise, and then he directly refused, "I have something to do tonight, so I'm not free."
"Chi Muzhen!"
Xu Rou's voice was filled with anger. "If Xuanxuan didn't want to smooth things over with you, do you think I'd want to call you back? If anyone knew you were working as a temporary worker, you'd bring disgrace upon the Chi family!"
Chi Muzhen found it a little funny, but was afraid that she would be embarrassed, so she wanted to call her back to attend the party. She really didn't know what Xu Rou was thinking.
"I told you I'm busy. If you're afraid of losing face, don't ask me to go back."
After saying that, Chi Muzhen hung up the phone directly, which made Xu Rou very angry.
After a while, Chi Xuan sent her a message.
[Sister, why don't you want to come back? Are you afraid that others will compare you with me?]
"Actually, you don't need to feel inferior. You've been out there for over a decade, so it's normal that you can't keep up with me after you came back. The most important thing for a person is to see themselves clearly. If you stand next to Brother Yun Ting, he'll only be laughed at by others."
[If I were you, I would have automatically quit long ago! ]
Looking at what Chi Xuan said, Chi Muzhen raised her eyebrows and pretended not to see it.
Soon it was evening, and the Chi family was filled with laughter and toasts.
Because of her leg injury, Xu Rou got Chi Xuan a wheelchair and bought her the latest dress. The dress was very long and directly covered Chi Xuan's injured leg.
She wore light makeup today and tied her hair up. She had a gentle temperament and easily attracted other people's attention.
"Rou Rou, I envy you so much. How could you give birth to such an outstanding daughter? If I were you, I would wake up laughing in my dreams every day!"
"Yes, yes, why is it that my child tries to learn everything but never learns anything well? If my child were half as good as Xuanxuan, I wouldn't have to worry so much!"
"I wonder who will be lucky enough to marry a wife as outstanding as Xuanxuan in the future!"
Amidst the compliments and praise from the crowd, Xu Rou couldn't stop smiling, her eyes were full of pride, yet she had to pretend to be humble.
"You're exaggerating. Xuanxuan's current situation is the result of her own hard work. Oh, and she also got the autograph you asked for."
Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes were filled with joy and disbelief, "Really? She really got Elia's autograph?!"
Xu Rou nodded, "Of course, there's no need for me to lie to you about this."
She handed the autograph Chi Xuan had given her to the friends in front of her and said with a smile, "If Xuan Xuan hadn't known Elia, I probably wouldn't have gotten this autograph."
"It's actually Elia's signature. What kind of person is she? Is she a man or a woman?"
"Xuanxuan, you are so amazing! If I didn't have a son, I would definitely let him marry you home!"
"Don't dream. Xuanxuan and President Huo are childhood sweethearts. How could she look down on anyone else? Even if I were to marry Xuanxuan, I'd definitely marry a man like President Huo!"
Although she knew that the other party was complimenting her, Chi Xuan couldn't help but feel overjoyed when she heard this, and the smile on her face became more sincere.
"Elia is a woman, about forty years old, with a very easygoing personality."
Just as he finished speaking, there was a sudden commotion at the door.
Everyone turned around and saw Fan Rao, wearing a white gauze dress, slowly walking in.
Fan Rao won third place in the design competition. Chi Xuan knew her, but they were not familiar with each other because they were three or four years apart.
But in Chi Xuan's view, he was just a defeated general.
Among the rich ladies surrounding Chi Xuan and Xu Rou, there was one who had a good relationship with Fan Rao's mother. When she saw her, Fan Rao quickly walked over with a sweet smile on her face.
"Aunt Wang, are you coming to the party?"
The person called Aunt Wang smiled and said, "Yeah. Why didn't your mother come?"
"She's feeling a little unwell today, so she's resting."
As she spoke, Fan Rao saw the signature on Aunt Wang's hand and couldn't help but exclaimed.
"This...is this Elia's signature?!"
She had been pestering her father to get Elia's autograph before, but her father never helped her get it and also forbade her to go to Elia, which made Fan Rao very angry.
I didn’t expect Aunt Wang to be able to get Elia’s autograph!
The other party handed her the signature in his hand with a smile on his face, "I asked for this signature for you. It's a good thing that you're here, so I don't have to make another trip."
Fan Rao took it with a look of surprise, "Thank you, Aunt Wang! But how did you get Elia's autograph?!"
Aunt Wang smiled and said, "How could I have that ability? It was Miss Chi who asked for it. If anyone is to be thanked, it should be Miss Chi who should be thanked."
Hearing this, Fan Rao turned to look at Chi Xuan and said gratefully, "Thank you, Miss Chi, and congratulations on winning the championship in the design competition!"
Chi Xuan smiled reservedly and said, "You are also very good. I saw that you got third place."
Fan Rao nodded, "Well, Miss Chi is really amazing. My dad asked me to learn more from you!"
Before coming, Fan Rao had no feelings for Chi Xuan, but after knowing that she knew Elia and wanted an autograph, Fan Rao's attitude towards her immediately changed.
"How can studying be so exaggerated? I've seen your design draft, and it's excellent too."
Fan Rao didn't continue the topic. Instead, he looked at Chi Xuan curiously and said, "How did you meet Elia? She's my idol!"
Chi Xuan's smile was a little unnatural. "Even at an event abroad, I didn't expect her to become a judge for a design competition."
"Have you invited Elia to this party?"
After she ran into Elia at home last time, she had always wanted to see what Elia looked like. It would be even better if she could get to know Elia.
Chi Xuan pursed her lips and said slowly: "I invited her, but she probably doesn't have time to come. She's very busy with work."
"All right."
Fan Rao felt a little disappointed, but she also knew that Elia was not someone she could see whenever she wanted.
"By the way, you know Elia. Do you have any pictures of her? She's my idol after all, and I've always been curious about what she looks like."
Chi Xuan shook her head. "No, after all, people her age don't really like taking pictures."
Fan Rao's eyes flashed with surprise! He felt that something was wrong.
"She's that age?"
Isn't Elia about the same age as them?
Before Chi Xuan could say anything, Aunt Wang beside her said, "Yes, Elia is about the same age as us, so it's normal for him not to like taking pictures."
Fan Rao frowned, looked at Chi Xuan and said, "Are you sure you really know Elia?"
The girl who passed by her last time was only in her twenties. How could she be the same age as her mother?
Chi Xuan's heart skipped a beat and she had a bad feeling.
But then he thought that it was impossible for Fan Rao to have met Elia, and he calmed down and nodded, "Yes, we met after the game today."
As soon as he finished speaking, Fan Rao's face suddenly became extremely cold.
"You're lying!"
The sound was quite loud and immediately attracted the attention of many people around.
Seeing that everyone was paying attention to them, Aunt Wang quickly pulled Fan Rao's hand.
"Raorao, why are you so loud all of a sudden?"
Fan Rao sneered, "Because I have passed by Elia before, but I didn't know she was Elia at that time. I am sure that Elia is about the same age as me, and it is impossible for her to be in her forties!"
